More on selling the house...

(Molly)So, there really isn't much more to tell, except that we're still waiting. The people who were potentially interested in making an offer have decided to look at more foreclosures in a lower price bracket. So, we're pretty much back where we started. It's possible, though, that these buyers will discover that there isn't much to be found as far as foreclosures unless they happen to be at the right place at the right time--and they find a NICE home that still has appliances, doorknobs, and other somewhat important features--like a working toilet or two. :) Their realtor has assured our agent that he will keep tabs on our home and represent it to his clients if the situation presents itself.

We're obviously competing in a difficult market right now. 50% of all the homes sold in our area in the past year were foreclosures (compared with about 11% in the greater Twin Cities). We DO feel so blessed to have a wonderful home to live in--and one that we will take pride in passing along to the right buyer. To be even considering building our home in an economy that has been so difficult for so many is really a miracle in itself.

We continue to pray for God's Providence in this and all situations! We hope you'll do the same. We'll let you know if there is more news to share.

Purpose

This is a weblog of the Koop Family, located in the Twin Cities of the great state of Minnesota. This blog tracks the conception, design, and construction of our home in Ham Lake, MN, a truly custom home dedicated to the nurturing of the family as the "domestic church" (Ecclesia domestica). Our goal is to create a home that prefigures our eternal home, and fosters the raising of children who will become saints in the kingdom of heaven.
